The new DC Universe is obviously very similar to the DC Extended Universe, but it also has its fair share of differences. The new trailer for James Gunn’s Superman, as well as the recent trailer for Peacemaker Season 2, have revealed that the Justice League in this universe are actually called the “Justice Gang,” and that they work for Max Lord (now played by Gunn’s brother Sean Gunn, instead of Pedro Pascal in the DCEU). This arrangement is very similar to the one in the beloved Justice League and Justice League International comic book series of the 1980s by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire.That’s just one…

The Kyiv-raised director Sergei Loznitsa has divided his recent career between documentaries and dramatized features. When he’s in the latter mode, as he is with “Two Prosecutors,” showing in competition, he tends to work in a deliberately paced, bleakly absurdist style, with a bleached palette and an eye for grim tableaus. There isn’t, in the final analysis, that much that happens in the movie, which is set in the Soviet Union in 1937 during Stalin’s purges. The suspense is simply in waiting for the totalitarian machinery to grind into place. Based on a novella by Georgy Demidov, a physicist who…

“There’s something sublime about surfaces,” Alison Nguyen told me in her studio in New York City’s Chinatown. “What do they reveal about the torrents beneath them?” It’s easy to dismiss the deceptive facades of the digital realm. But in Nguyen’s practice—which spans video, installation, performance, and sculpture—surfaces are sites of mystery and possibility. Her video works, which explore American mythologies, visual culture, and digital labor practices, unfold uncanny worlds from shreds of history. Nguyen grew up in New Jersey and made a habit of “sneaking” into the city, where she scoured Manhattan’s art and film offerings. A graduate of Brown…
Cannes takes a day to settle in, using the opening night to hear from the jury (led this year by one of our best actresses in Juliette Binoche), present a restored classic (the timeless “The Gold Rush”) and launch only one out-of-competition film (this year’s mediocre “Leave One Day”). Day 2 is when the train really leaves the station, premiering films all over the city, including competition titles vying for the Palme. The first such title this year was Mascha Schilinski’s ambitious “Sound of Falling,” a film that unfold across a century on one German farm, a setting haunted by…

A Marlene Dumas painting hammered for $13.6 million during a Christie’s sale tonight, making the South African painter the most expensive living female artist at auction. The painting, titled Miss January (1997), had an estimate of $12 million to $18 million, just about ensuring that it would break a record. It was also a last-minute consignment from the collection of the Rubell Family, which regularly appears on the ARTnews Top 200 Collectors list. It also had a third-party guarantee. The Dumas portrait sold relatively quickly and was ultimately won by an anonymous telephone bidder represented by Sara Friedlander, Christie’s deputy…

There was a time, not so long ago, when it was not unusual to wonder where all the Asian American artists were. This curiosity led Kathy Huang to curate a group exhibition for gallery Jeffrey Deitch, where she’s managing director. Initially, she worried that finding 30 artists would be too big a task. She was wrong. The exhibition opened in May 2022 in New York, before traveling to Los Angeles. Huang’s interest in this area culminates this month with…
“These go to eleven.” So said guitarist Nigel Tuffnel of his specially made Marshall amplifier in the classic spoof rockumentary movie Spinal Tap. But amps are not just for rocking stage musicians—anyone with an interest in music can collect them. From amateur armchair guitarists whose only audience is the pet dog to small-time players, amps are available to cover a whole range of needs. Some collectors don’t even plug their amps in, keeping them as ornaments. Guitar amps come in three types: tube (also known as valve), solid state, and hybrid. Classic tube amps are the most expensive to buy…
